Today I released
pycparser version 2.00, with support for C99 syntax. The following features were implemented:
- Mix of declarations and statements inside a block
long long
type, including corresponding integer literals
- New keywords:
restrict, inline
- Variable-length arrays (VLAs), including the
[*]
notation for function parameter lists
- Declaration in the first expression of
for
loops
- Named initializers, including support for anonymous objects (compound literals)
The API (specifically, some of the AST nodes) of version 2.00 is slightly incompatible with that of 1.xx.
For this reason I intend to keep the 1.xx alive and available for download for a long time - it's a very
functional parser fully supporting the old ANSI/ISO C89/C90. However, most future development effort will
be invested in version 2.xx, which can be thought as a superset of 1.xx
